It will be difficult to share the truth of God with them if they can not embrace you as a friend. Remember, if they perceive you as a friend then they are more likely to welcome your interactions because they are inclined to accept that you care about their welfare. Just because they do not share your faith does not mean they can not be your friend. However, you must be careful because the things, ideas etc that you know compromises the truth are not to be indulged in but respectfully reasoned out so that such friends can be led to see the truth in a loving way. After all, the holiest person made friends with all sinners without sinning. This He did so that sinners might be saved. What a lesson for us to learn! By His grace, may we follow His example.

Amen!(0)

And to add to that I like to point out that God does not really need our help in helping Him save souls by persecuting, forcing etc. All He wants us to do is make ourselves available to be used as messengers to deliver a message. He will do the rest Himself, i.e. conviction, avenging, persuading, you name it. If we are humble enough to yield to His instructions, He will use us to accomplish that which He desires according to His will. It is incredible for me to fathom persecution of anyone when we do not know what is in their hearts. Only God can read and judge hearts so only He should be able to decide such matters.

Amen!(0)

As a Jew, Jesus did not allow the ungodliness of the gentiles and for that matter sinners to prevent Him from interacting with them. In fact, Jesus even entertained questions (interaction) with satan when the occasion arose. What Jesus did not do was to compromise the truth. If we know the truth, that should be the more reason to mingle with these denominations so that we can share. The only danger is we must be careful not to compromise what we know to be the truth. It is therefore very necessary to search the scriptures and know the truth before we venture out. Armed with the truth and with The HS leading, we should not fear heresies but overcome them. It will be a blessing for many souls.

Amen!(0)

See now, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one; please let me escape there (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.”
Is God a compromising god? Why is he always willing to make deals with his rebellious people? what a God - I can't understand him.

Amen!(0)

Salt is only effective when it comes in contact with something! Question- how are we impacting others that we come in contact with??? We can't afford to compromise our principles or our Christ given mandate to be politically correct in this late hour of earths history.
